Network Access and Web Interface

If the Android devices, on which DSD SHOW is running, is connected to the local network, you can manage the app from you computer, phone or tablet. Note that the interfaces mentioned bellow work only from the same local network (LAN). If you want to manage Slideshow remotely, you can setup file synchronization from your HTTP/FTP server, Google Drive or Dropbox.

Web interface

DSD SHOW’s web interface is the main interface for managing all the DSD SHOW’s advanced features.

Web interface can be accessed from the web browser on your computer. You can find the address, on which the web interface is accessible, via on-screen menu – Help. It is usually “http://{device’s IP address}” for rooted devices and “http://{devices’s IP address}:8080” for non-rooted devices.

If the Android device has several networks (e.g. WiFi + Wired,), DSD SHOW will listen on all the networks, but will display only a single IP address on the screen. If you are on the same network as the Android device and can’t connect to the address displayed by Slideshow, please verify / disconnect other networks.

Default username / password is admin / admin. It can be changed after logging in, either via menu Settings – Users or Settings – Password change. If you forgot the password, you can reset it on the login page within 10 minutes after the Android device is started. For security reasons, resetting the password requires direct access to the Android device.

The port number for web interface can be changed via web interface – menu Settings – Device settings – HTTP port number or HTTPS port number or on-screen menu – Basic settings – HTTP port number. If you want to use port number bellow 1024, the device has to be rooted and port 8080 (for HTTP) / 8443 (for HTTPS) has to be free on the device. Web interface – login page Web interface – home page

Web interface via HTTPS

DSD SHOW also supports secured HTTPS protocol for web interface. The address is usually “https://{device’s IP address}” for rooted devices and “https://{devices’s IP address}:8443” for non-rooted devices. By default, DSD SHow generates self-signed SSL certificate on the first start, so browsers will display security alert before access the page. You can upload your own SSL certificate for HTTPS in PKCS12 format via web interface – menu Settings – Device settings – Certificate for HTTPS.
